ServiceNow Administrator

Run a ServiceNow instance for a week: move a change safely from development to production, grant access by role not by favour, import 1,200 laptops without creating duplicates, fix the rule sending incidents to the wrong team, and test an upgrade before it bites.

What you'll build

Real portfolio pieces built during the course, not a certificate for its own sake. Each one is work you can show.

  • Platform access reviewWho gets which role and why: requests handled through groups with end dates, admin cut back to those who need it, and the rules that keep it that way.
  • CMDB import recordA bulk import done safely: the transform map, how duplicates were prevented, how users and dates were handled, the test run, and the counts that prove it worked.
  • Incident routing fixAn SLA problem traced to its cause in the data, the configuration changed through a proper release, and the check that shows it worked.
  • Upgrade plan and week updateHow an upgrade's skipped records will be reviewed and tested, with a go/no-go and a back-out plan, plus a short update on the week's changes for the service manager.
